Donald Trump and Fox are planning a show called "Lady or a Tramp," in which rowdy, bawdy party girls will be sent to charm school and taught proper manners. Great, because 1) when I think manners, I think Trump, and 2) I really needed another reality show to showcase the worst of womankind. They'd never do a show like this with partyboys, would they?
ABC is filming a reality series in which overweight people will walk from Boston to Washington, D.C. (the show passed through Baltimore this week). Which might not be so bad, really, except for the cringe-worthy name: "Fat March."
Fox and ABC are reportedly fighting for the rights to a series that would attempt to find the worst driver in America. Because reckless driving is hilarious - right, Lindsay Lohan?

NBC has announced a special called "Science of Love," which will attempt to figure out whether instinct or science has a better chance of picking someone's ideal mate. The guy testing the methods will be NFL player Adam Johnson, which leads me to wonder: Between this, "Age of Love," and Jesse Palmer's season of "The Bachelor," what's with all these professional athletes who can't get dates?
